LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 427.1: Nora's Case ④
The air freezes at Ohii-sama’s unexpected words. However, Nora-san immediately understands what she meant and her cry echoes throughout the throne room.
“!? Something like this is… Obviously I will say no!” (Nora)
Of course not. What do you mean, asking for the throne as a reward for winning a race?
“But you said anything I want……” (Alisha)
“I-I did say that, but………… Alisha, do you want to be king? Obtaining the throne is the same as taking responsibility for the lives of everyone who lives in Code. Are you really prepared for that?” (Nora)
Nora-san says in a calm and admonishing voice. The knights open their eyes wide at her unexpected appearance.
Nora’s persuasion silences Ohii-sama for a moment, and then she suddenly collapses on the spot.
This is――No way……!
“Nooo wayyy! Alisha wants the throne-nooo! Please, Nora Onee-sama! Give me the throne? I waaant theee throoone-nooo! I wiiill cheriiish iiit!” (Alisha)
“…… Cry, you bastard, you have instilled outrageous wisdom even to a member of the Royal Family……” (Nora)Nora-san doesn’t even look at the flapping Ohii-sama, instead stares at me as if I was some trash. I wonder how she knew that I was the one who taught her…… No, maybe she was monitoring us.
Even in her selfish days, Liz never threw a tantrum for wanting a throne. However, the way she throws a tantrum even though she doesn’t seem to want it that much reminds me of the old Liz.
“Cry is, mine-nano! So, Kryhi and Kuubi are mine too! The throne is mine too-nanooo!” (Alisha)
“Your tantrum is a failure if you are throwing a tantrum just because you think something is somehow reasonable. Throwing a tantrum is not persuasion, you know.” (Cry)
“As if it is the time to say this!” (Nora)
Nora-san *bashin* hits me on the head with a bang and my Barrier Ring activates.
Indeed, this is not the time to say that. In the midst of the chaos, one of the knights says.
“Ho-However, it is true that it does make sense. I think what Alisha-sama says does have a point.” (Knight 1)
“The power of a Royal Guard is the power of the member of the Royal Family, after all. But to gain the throne based on the results of a mere race――” (Knight 2)
“Nora-sama has recognized Alisha-sama. She is better than Angus-ouji, who is a coward.” (Knight 3)
“Even without any strengthening, she was able to keep up with Nora-sama and move like that. She definitely has potential. If she studies hard, I’m sure she’ll become a great king.” (Knight 4)
“She might want to take a stroll on a whim, and wave her hand to us to say hello. The current King of Code is great, but he hardly ever comes down from the Royal Tower.” (Knight 5)
“Or it is also possible for them to divide the roles between them…… Nora-sama would be the whip and Alisha-sama would be the candy.” (Knight 6)
The members of the Knight Order talk one after the other. What happened to the loyalty of these guys…
“S-Stop talking nonsense. Whose side are you on, me or Alisha!” (Nora)
The hearts of Nora-san’s knight order are completely turned to Ohii-sama, who is thrashing around with her hair in disarray and her face bright red.
Zachary-san was listening to what Ohii-sama said, and Nora-san’s attitude seemed to have softened considerably. Maybe Ohii-sama has some kind of charisma.
However, things are going to be bad if it goes like this. I look at Nora-san and say.
“Nora-san…… There is still another level to throwing tantrums. For your good, it is time for you to give in.” (Cry)
“Another level………… You say? There is something more than this!?” (Nora)
Nora-san’s cheeks *pikupiku* twitch. Ohii-sama stops moving for a moment. And I say.
“Yeaaah. If you don’t give in this time, next――She will start throwing a tantrum in the mud.” (Cry)
“!? In the mud, you say!? Is that what royalty is supposed to do!?” (Nora)
“If even that doesn’t work…… She will start taking her clothes off.” (Cry)
“Hh!? Yo………… Your dignity, as a human being――” (Nora)
“I-I won’t do it!! Of course not!” (Alisha)
Nora-san and the knights are pale and shocked, while Ohii-sama shouts with her face bright red.
Apparently, Liz’s Class is out of reach, but Nora-san is too shaken to listen to what she said.
Thanks for reading! Thanks CJ for the Ko-fi, I’ll post an extra chapter next week. Also sorry I couldn’t post yesterday’s chapter but here it is.
Whenever you don’t have what you want, throw a tantrum, Cry lesson 101! Alisha is already applying what she learned. Also, Nora’s Royal Knights are so funny, they are so mesmerized by Alisha that they are ok with her being the King instead of Nora.
